The sum of three numbers is 1,116. One of the numbers, k, is 20% less then the sum of
the other two numbers. What is the value of
k?

The value of k is 496

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the other two numbers be x and y

so, (x+y) +k =1116

let the value of (x+y) be 100 so we can assume k to be 20% less of 100 which is 80

so now (x+y) =100(assuming)

k =80(assuming)

now, (x+y) +k =1116 (putting assumed values(

or, 100 + 80 =1116

or, 180 units = 1116

or, 1 unit = 1116/180

.: 1 unit = 6.2

we have assumed value of k to be 80 units previously so now, k = 80 units

or, K =80*6.2 (1 unit =6.2)

.: k = 496

Hope this answer helps you

true

step-by-step explanation:

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
